Numpad Unit Commands (2018) [DEPRECATED]

Description
This is an old version of the mod that is no longer being supported on this page. It may work with an old version of the game, but it will only remain here so that current subscribers don't have their local files removed by Steam. I am planning on updating this mod for compatibility with the latest patch/Gathering Storm. I'll post a link here to the new Steam page once I've created it.

Allows you to select/move units and perform range attacks using the numpad keys. Designed as an alternative to messing around with the mouse when moving and selecting units.

Can be used with saved games.

Civ Fanatics Resource[forums.civfanatics.com]

Compatibility
- Will work with any ruleset.
- Adds its own UI file. It doesn't replace anything, so it is compatible with any other UI mod that doesn't use the same keys.

I can't move units even when num lock is on
- Check out the Troubleshooting discussion.


Controls
- "5" centers view on selected unit. Double tapping "5" will skip the unit's turn (or enter ranged attack selection if available).
- 1, 4, 7, 3, 6, and 9 will move unit one plot at a time in the 6 possible directions.
- "8" and "2" will select the next/previous ready unit, respectively (unless selecting a range attack).
- If no unit is selected, pressing a numpad key will select the next available ready unit.
- Mod will ignore when you hold down a key for more than 2 seconds, it must be pressed and released quickly to register an action.
- Numpad key presses will not queue any movements for the next turn.

Melee / Ranged Attacks
- To melee attack a unit (or range attack an adjacent one), you must double tap the numpad movement key. One press will only show the Unit Panel combat simulation.
- Double tapping "5" will enter ranged attack selection mode if ranged attack is available, otherwise it will skip the selected unit's turn.

In ranged attack mode:
- The numpad up, down and the east, west keys will scroll through selectable targets.
- To perform the ranged attack, double tap "5" again.
- Press "escape" or the diagonal (1, 7, 9, 3) numpad keys to exit ranged selection mode.

I'm really looking forward to a possible new version of this mod, as this control feature is my most requested one since vanilla Civ VI. It would literally be my most important mod. ^^

Everything has already been said: a very big thanks to you, MadManCam (and spOOn) and shame on firaxis. I really hope you find the time to update this mod.

100% agree with Chevreau.

Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of people that appreciate the work you're putting in. The original mod made a huge difference for me, so I'm looking forward to its re-release. (:

Thank you for working on this, I can't wait until it's usable again!

I'd love to have this working!

Thank you MadManCam for doing the work.

It really is perplexing why Firaxis wouldn't have had this functionality at launch. Keypad movement has been a staple of this series since the original Civ.

Looking forward to having this essential play style back in the game we all love.
